RT @vanessabooth: @annabelbrodies @iancowie @AICPRESS Look at all those colourful Easter eggs! 🐣

Very kind of you to say so, Sean, and much appreciated by me. Both deals done now. Let's see how they look on Friday (not that I bought on a one-week view!)

@iancowie Ah. Okay. Your column is the number one reason I buy the Sunday Times (really).

Can't blame you for asking, Sean, but some people might blame me for answering today. However, I do hope to publish something about this on Sunday!

@iancowie What are you looking for when New York opens?

Me too. I intend to buy some more today. But must admit am going to wait for New York to open!

@iancowie @annabelbrodies I have always loved dividends ( the real ones that is)

Dreams of capital gains seem very distant for stock market investors today but dividend income can pay us to be patient. Here are two investment trusts that increased shareholders' income every year for decades, without fail @annabelbrodies (tale two). https://t.co/wp2o66TCLO

Thank you, Annabel, glad you liked it and grateful for you saying so. Now the 'dividend hero' phrase has prompted this memory from 40 years ago! https://t.co/eAXKKh2CmS

Annabel Brodie-Smith @annabelbrodies

Helpful piece Ian. Inevitably there will be winners and losers but it’s too early to tell. Agree with your point that “dividends may pay us to be patient.” Charlie and Cressida will benefit from those dividend rises. Good you have chosen dividend hero trusts - F&C & Alliance

Never mind all the macroeconomic misery of slumping stock markets, come and share this small investor's personal tale of woe or how my investment trusts fared in Q1 2025. https://t.co/XgSPWG4E4g

Thank you, Annabel, on a day like today, investment trusts' automatic diversification is a simple and effective way to diminish the risks inherent in the stock market.

Annabel Brodie-Smith @annabelbrodies

Read about @iancowie's "brutal re-rating" of his forever fund of investment trusts in Q1. On Trump's impact Ian wrote: "One thing’s for sure, his unpredictable style has led to unpredictable consequences for equity markets.” Definitely true today! @AICPRESS

Thank you for your analysis, quoted in the tale below, Nick. It's always better to laugh than cry!
